The Earth’s biomes and loss of species diversity
-
The map: Locating biomes (or regional ecosystems) throughout the world.
The graph: The bars compare the impacted states of selected biomes (or regional ecosystems) at various historical dates and projected 2050. These impacts are expressed using the Mean species abundance (MSA) indicator.
